Port Database Nexus & My Nexus Pages

Port Database Nexus

The Port Database Nexus is an addition to the normal Port Database; a few custom pages that display the contents of the Port Database in a different way.

You will find the Port Database Nexus pages on the top of the main content box.


The Nexus Tabs (links) are self-explanatory, and clicking on them reveals something like this:




Mac App Store-like much? Indeed it is.
The Port Database Nexus is inspired by the Mac App Store as well as and some app wall projects, and it displays a Nexus of Ports that you'd normally not see with the normal Port Database interface.
The Port Database is the general collective place for Ports, neatly categorized and easy to find what you're looking for via categories or search, while the Nexus is meant for sharing.

Now the latest and greatest is just on a simple page, and one can easily share this info with others; may be on Twitter, Forums or YouTube.

So good so far, but this isn't the real strength of the Port Database Nexus.


My Nexus

The second Part of the Port Database Nexus are the My Nexus pages.

Everyone who submits something to the Port Database will automatically get a My Nexus page.
A Nexus page from a typical Porter can look like this;




Looking at a member's My Nexus page is a great way to see what they have accomplished, what Ports they have submitted and the quality/rating of their Ports.

Also the My Nexus page gives Porters (members who submitted a Port) a good chance to make some additional wind for themselves.
Few downloads on your Ports because there's so much 'competition'? Take the fight to the web and post a link to your Nexus page wherever you like.

Or like the Ports from a User? Share their Nexus Page with others.
